[info]enamour in [info]07refugees

Livejournal recently suspended my accounts without reason and without explanation. I opened a support ticket about it but my questions are going ignored and they aren't responding to me. I've kept asking them about it in my ticket but I gave up. I can't understand it, I did nothing to deserve a suspension. I didn't think that debating with people and arguing were a bannable offense but I could be wrong. I don't know if someone kept flagging me or what. I wasn't the only person suspended that day either Maybe someone here can shed some light on the situation?

Re: woe, slippery slope

"Jihad" is a bit, make that far too extremne to apply to LJ and whatever drama it has. Oh great, Godwin's Law 2.0. But anyways, I digress. However horrible LJ's TOS is, it's not unlike any other service provider or company, which upon reading the fine print, says they can collect whatever information they want and refuse service should they so choose to, for whatever undisclosed reason. It sucks. But it's not a battle that fandom or users can win, so I don't see how antagonizing LJ helped. By antagonizing, I don't mean taking a help ticket and asking why such and such a course of action was taken, but making those stupid icons, "fuck not with fandom, for fandom fucks back (without lube)"?? The self-righteous wank gets tiresome. But I'll stop here, because the OP had nothing to do with that. With management comes liability, so from LJ's perspective, they're just trying to cover their asses. Eventually, ad hopefully in this case, they'll make reprimands, even if they're not worth much anymore.

Jihad is exactly what it's been called on LJ. Heh.

Personally, I think we can make ourselves better heard by talking with our money. By not renewing accounts and by leaving.

And it's not just about fandom anymore. It's about anyone and everyone being affected by the recent changes they've brought about. It's gone way beyond fandom, and did so months ago.

Boycotting on LJ is each person's prerogative, but they are not going bankrupt anytime soon. I haven't seen many people move really, and I do like IJ, but after all the bitching and whining, the majority it seems have stayed at LJ.

Re: woe, slippery slope

That's because many went to GJ before they went crazy.

Quite a few people on my friends list at LJ , have created IJs or GJs, but haven't fully left.

I don't think many will leave until something actually affects them directly. But there are quite a few who are not renewing their accounts, which takes at least a little money out of LJ/SUP's pockets.
